“We can know only one thing: that we know nothing. And that is the highest degree of human wisdom.”
— Leo Tolstoy
Simplified Meaning:
This quote means that true wisdom comes from understanding how much we don't know. Imagine you start learning about a new hobby, like playing guitar. At first, you might think you know a lot. But as you learn more, you realize there are many techniques, songs, and styles you never knew about. The more you learn, the more you see how much there still is to discover. In the same way, thinking you know everything can stop you from learning new things. Being wise means being humble and open-minded, ready to learn and grow. For example, a scientist who knows there is always more to discover will continue to seek new knowledge and make new breakthroughs. In your own life, staying curious and acknowledging that there's always more to learn can help you become more understanding, open, and wise.
